You know, I don't follow baseball like I used to. I can remember the days when a nearly 30 game winner was not that uncommon.
You're not that old, oli. The last pitcher to win 30 was Denny McLain in 1968 and before him I think it was in the 1930s. A 25 game winner was quite good through that period, and it is still a benchmark to a great season. I think THE domineering pitcher of our lifetime was Sandy Koufax (in the '60s).
